Starbucks was an early-January value play that turned sour after continued earnings disappointments. As such, I feel it is entirely useless to drop them from my portfolio at this time. I believe in their long-term prospects run behind an excellent CEO in Schultz... and consider SBUX a "hold" in this environment. I am hoping for a return to $19 so that I may sell out my position without suffering too much of a loss on an otherwise well-run company that has been brought down with the rest of the discretionary sector.
